Not just the isolation, there are so many crazy covidian rules that some schools have pushed on the kids to uphold the safety theatre.
In California, it was absolutely forbidden for anyone to be indoors without a mask for more than 15 minutes, but you still have to serve school lunch to kids.
Some schools solved this by moving lunch outside. No matter the temperature.
Some schools solved this by giving the kids a 14 minute lunch break.
No talking, no socializing, no enjoying the meal together in peace. This is how you give kids eating disorders.
> In California, it was absolutely forbidden for anyone to be indoors without a mask for more than 15 minutes
False. There was no such directive.
We were one of the first schools in California to reopen, too.
I think you may be referring to what was initially considered a close contact under the CDPH guidance: unmasked and close for more than 15 minutes.

This is our normal procedure at our school on non-rainy days, COVID or not.
There were 2 or 3 rainy days (yay drought!). Kids ate indoors, spread out, with the doors open. It was a stricter lunch environment than they're used to for those few days.
Our biggest change was cohorting for those in elementary. You really only could play with your own class.
Of course, while these rules were in place, any schoolkid could go to a restaurant with their parents and enjoy a meal together in peace for hours if they so wished.
Yeah it's weird that a place that has 1000s of people in it at once has different rules than a place with 50.
We may never know why that is. Truly, a mystery. An enigma for the ages. Scholars will be working on this for 1000s of years. Who could know the answer to such a question?
believe it or not there is more to life than a myopic obsessive fixation on Covid to the literal sacrifice of everything else. It is complete BS that restaurants were open but schools closed. There is more to the world than just Covid you know…
All the lockdown people thought mattered was Covid. They completely ignored every other problem and mocked people who pointed it out.
> It is complete BS that restaurants were open but schools closed.
Completely different environments with different requirements.
> to the literal sacrifice of everything else.
Except for, you know...public health and disease control. Not minimizing covid would maximize long covid which would be a whole other public health nightmare we'd have to deal with for decades to come.
Also, you know, it just kind of made sense to mount some kind of response to a pandemic. I realize you see it as an all-or-nothing proposition, so at least be glad it was only a mixed response and I'll remain content that the experts, in some jurisdictions at least are out there being put in charge of things like this.

Except in the US at least where we've seen some of the most organized nationwide protests organized and attended by a mostly mask wearing populace. Another bit of fabricated wisdom from your keyboard to the bin.
